]]>Prize giving party Predator Battle Ireland 2018https://www.raubfischweb.de/events/prize-giving-party-predator-battle-ireland-2018/
Mon, 01 Oct 2018 07:59:12 +0000https://www.raubfischweb.de/?p=3542Last year 2017 we had a max of 25 teams and fully booked, but more teams want to enter that year. So for 2018 we made a decision to go to 35 max, on the last moment teams cancelled or just didn’t show up….bit a waste of their entry fee but what can you do!

Anyway I had a great week, hard work of course and very tired on the end! I hope all participants enjoyed it. Difficult to measure because you’re so busy that you miss a little bit the fun!

Below all prize winners and the great sponsor of the Predator Battle Ireland 2018. For 2019 we found already a few new sponsor so will do my best again for you, see you next year!

Almost ready for the prize giving, first some food and making new friends.
Of course loads of stories about losing fish and they get bigger by the minute haha

14 teams complete with 4 pike, 3 perch and 1 trout.

The beautiful band Cailíní Lua start with their great Irish music…and dance! Give them a BIG like on facebook

Food and drinks, that last one makes Frans Oomen very happy, this is his famous face!

After some busy days for me I had to blow of some steam and dancing is my middle name so haha. Marek didn’t do bad, but he needs a few extra lessons!

We had a small problem with one team, high waves brought them in problems all safe home thank god. But they lost loads of material and of course the boat had some damage as well so to support them all participants decided to give them the deposit of the measuring boards, thanks guys!!

Further a big thanks to Marek & Jaroslaw they saw it all so stayed close to them for all kinds of help. Not much they really could do but they stayed there until they were safe!

You can see on their faces that they still don’t believe it , but they will realize it soon when we bring them the boat “ boat delivery day”

Winners Predator Battle 2018

Late in the evening finally time to meet and talk with present teams and others, finally a relaxing moment! Even time to make a photo on the stage with the Main sponsor sign on the background with the hard core drinkers.

Was a long evening and of course me and Rene left as last one, we had to clean the place pffff.

Predator Battle Day 3

Day 3 the final day done and nothing strange today……well I killed an insect today maybe someone can make an elephant story of it otherwise they get bored ! Just a little bit lesser wind than yesterday so all safe home. More teams complete today and some teams improved their score so it looks very. Interesting in the top, all very close in total length!

One team without power to start their outboard, Frans Oomen (steward) got a battery from another team, so that’s how the spirit is here. The team of yesterday who had serious problems are fine, back in Killaloe to say hello. Thank god they ended up with only material and lose damage!

Have seen loads of teams trolling only and often you see comments on facebook like. “ ban the trolling in this competition” but all participants in this competition like it! So no need to change it! Further…. first the prize giving party and 2 days extra sleep!

Frans Oomen and Frans Provo our stewards had some time to catch an trout, think that a few teams would love to catch this fish to be complete on the last day! We just left the Anchor Inn with all day catches of day 3 so we have to check it all to find out who’s the winner of the Predator Battle Ireland 2018.

Two airlifted to hospital after boat capsizes on Lough Derg

Two fishermen have been airlifted to hospital after their boat capsized on Lough Derg this afternoon.

The alarm was raised at around 3.30pm when a member of the public reported two people calling for help from a fishing boat off Mountshannon in Co Clare.The Shannon based helicopter, Rescue 115, was sent to the scene while the Killaloe unit of the Irish Coast Guard was also alerted.

Members of Killaloe Coast Guard quickly launched their rescue boat and made their way north along the lake to the incident. Other volunteers travelled to Mountshannon by road. On arrival at the scene, the helicopter quickly located the casualties who were by then sitting on top of their boat which had capsized.

The pair were winched on board the helicopter and flown directly to University Hospital Limerick. One was reported to be suffering from hypothermia however neither is believed to have been seriously harmed. The Coast Guard boat secured the upturned boat and took it on tow.

It took over an hour to recover the boat to Mountshannon harbour when a Coast Guard land crew was waiting to assist.
